Illinois Green Fund

The Illinois Green Fund (IGF) is North America's largest university sustainability funding pool. It is stewarded by the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC), a group of undergraduate and graduate students dedicated to building a more sustainable campus. With the partnership of a team of staff and faculty members, SSC allocates $1.5 million annually toward the development and seed funding of projects that have an environmental impact on the university community. The fund is financed by collecting two student-initiated fees, the Cleaner Energy Technologies Fee (CETF) and the Sustainable Campus Environment Fee (SCEF). By providing consultation, thought leadership, and funding, the IGF and SSC empower Illinois students, staff, and faculty to be leaders in sustainability, environmental stewardship, and the future paradigm shift.

Since 2008, SSC has allocated more than $15 million to fund 400+ projects impacting campus sustainability!
